Media from 60 countries to cover Thai tourism

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) will hold a press tour for media representatives from 60 countries around the world who will visit famous places in Thailand.

As part of the plan to make the country better known among foreigners, the TAT will be leading a group of foreign journalists to observe distinctive tourist attractions of eight provinces, including Lampang, Loei, Trat, Ratchaburi, Samut Songkhram and Nakhon Pathom.

The TAT is giving special attention to Scandinavian tourists as statistics showed that a larger number of Scandinavian people have a tendency to travel overseas as individual tourists.

To spark their interest in the country, the TAT office in Trang province will be taking 14 reporters from Scandinavian countries to Trang and Nakhon Si Thammarat to experience local food and must-visit attractions such as Koh Kradan, and the local handicraft village. The reporters have reportedly accepted the TAT’s invitation.
